TRILAND PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION
The Eswatini activation highlights the growing spirit of cross-border collaboration under the Triland partnership involving Mpumalanga, Eswatini and Mozambique.
Established through an agreement signed at Africa’s Travel Indaba in 2022, the initiative seeks to strengthen cooperation between the three destinations and promote them collectively as a connected tourism offering.
By bringing the 013 Summer Blaze experience to Eswatini audiences, the organisers are demonstrating how entertainment can support regional tourism, encourage cross-border movement and create opportunities for neighbouring destinations to share audiences and experiences.
The activation also reinforces the potential of major entertainment events to contribute to tourism promotion beyond national borders, connecting people through music, culture and shared experiences.
With the fifth edition approaching, excitement continues to build for 013 Summer Blaze at Mbombela Stadium on November 28, 2026.
Mpumalanga, the countdown is on. Are you ready for 013 Summer Blaze?
